I used to buy them from GoDaddy but now I use Namecheap. The biggest advantage of Namecheap is that they offer a free Whois Guard with every new domain registration. Plus I hate the marketing techniques adopted by GoDaddy, they try to cross-sell 10 different things when you are trying to buy just one.

I don't mind GoDaddy trying to upsell their products mainly because it makes me think about the strategy I'm going to use for each domain purchase, plus they give me give an easy No Thanks button to bypass them

I use godaddy to register all of my domains. It's just so quick and easy to get a domain through them and I've been happy with their service. I wouldn't use their hosting but as a domain registrar they are fine. I often get coupons for 30% off or something similar so I try my best to renew my domains and such at the right time as a good way of saving money.

I'm on boobs... er... GoDaddy, too. About 40 domains at the moment, I think. They're cheap and easy (and I used tucows once and really regretted it).

I considered leaving when the whole SOPA thing came along but that was just typical GoDaddy crap: they're so focussed on breast-based advertising that they don't really consider the knock-on effects of anything else they say or do. As soon as people pointed out they were being retarded, they realised and back-pedalled. No big deal. I've seen far worse decisions online that have been totally ignored.

Have used Godaddy and then almost lost a domain to them (they block your domain name after 14 days and ask for $ redemption fee. Moved the domain to namecheap and then all others step by step. NAmecheap are way better than GD, simpler checkout process (they don't try to trick you into buying all kinds of 'extras'), their admin panel is nice and easy to use. Not to mention my new domains redirect to my server in 2-3 minutes, i don't have to wait for hours to get a change.

I use Namecheap. They've got a straight-forward control panel that allows you to manage everything you need with ease. Their support is decent, they're always on live chat which is a huge bonus. Not sure whether they have a multi-domain discount though. I've got about 25+ domains in my Namecheap account.

I have always used Namecheap with the only reason really being is because it's cheaper. I know it's not much but the way I look at it is if you can save a couple of quarters why not do it? Aside from their cheap prices they also have great customer services, I dont really know why so many people like GoDaddy so much when they can be using NameCheap for a dollar less; I mean I can see why if you want to use their host but why else?

I use Namecheap. I like them because they are local (for me), very good customer services, and an user friendly interface. Most of my domains are here. I have a few at GoDaddy. I only buy from them when they have a .99 cent or $1.99 domain sale. I always transfer the domains to Namecheap. It only cost me at $4.99 to transfer and I get free whois protection too.
